Although serving an essential task of securing automated non-human (BOT) access to web-services CAPTCHA image verification is an necessary evil, the annoying CAPTCHA codes not only wastes your time but can also become a pain at times when they get hard to recognize - resulting in repeated failed attempts.

To get you relieved from this annoyance, a new web-browser addon "Rumola" offers automated CAPTCHA code decoding and filling to it's users. The addon is currently available for free on Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari webbrowser - Once installed and activated "RUMOLA" gets into action automatically whenever a CAPTCHA test is detected and fills the code for you.

While there is no x64 Bit build of "Google Chrome", in my quest to look for a performance oriented 64bit native web-browser I found variations of "Mozilla Firefox" specifically optimized and compiled for 64 Bit Windows OS. Both WaterFox and PaleMoon forks features an x64 optimized firefox version for download, but since WaterFox optimizations are "only targeted" towards 64bit systems I tested Firefox x86 (32 Bit) Vs WaterFox x64 and the results are as follows.

Mozilla Firefox 8 Final got released just days ago and now it's time for Firefox 9 Beta for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. Packed with exciting new features like Type Inference to make JavaScript significantly faster, Mac OS X Lion native application toolbar and icon styling, ability to developers to detect if a user has opted to use "Do Not Track privacy feature" via javascript, and chunked XHR support helping developers make websites and Web apps faster, especially one's that download large sets of data or via AJAX - the new Firefox 9 seems to good on features.

Mozilla adapted the Google Chrome styled "rapid release cycle" and sticking to the policy has released the "Firefox 8 Final" for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android within two months of Firefox 7 Final release. The major version update includes new features to make Web browsing easier, providing users and developers more control over how they customize their Web experience.

Mozilla Firefox 7 Final is out now and feature's the much awaited MemShrink memory optimizations to the popular web-browser, the new update to Firefox 6 brings an overall faster browsing experience to users by offering faster speeds when opening new tabs, enhanced performance when lots of tabs are open and during long Web browsing sessions that last hours or days, more responsive clicking on menu items and buttons on websites, lower memory consumption (see comparison between Firefox 6 and Firefox 7 before and after update with same tabs and load).

Apart from the memory and speed enhancements - this release also features new tools which are designed to make it easier for developers to build speedy Web experiences for users. A new version of hardware-accelerated Canvas, W3C navigation timing spec API (allowing developers to measure page load time and other related crucial factors) and a brand new Telemetry tool to collect performance data across userbase for improving the browser performance further are also included.

Mozilla has adopted the Rapid-release strategy with new major browser version number release channels for each version (alpha, beta and stable) of it's Firefox web-browser, sticking to the plan Mozilla has made Firefox 6 Final (stable channel) and Firefox 7 Beta 1 (Beta Channel) available publicly to Windows, Mac and Linux users.

Firefox 6 Final claims to provide better startup-speed, memory-consumption and performance to it's predecessors, the release also feature numerous fixes and fortify's overall browser security. The other release Firefox 7 Beta 1 (Beta Channel) features major memory optimizations by incorporating Mozilla's MemShrink optimizations and better Javascript garbage collector, Firefox 7 will also feature tools to help developers measure load times and offer faster Synchronization of bookmarks and passwords.

Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 user-interface transition was something not everybody was comfortable with, but this has not stopped Mozilla for trying out new UI's which might get finalized when Firefox 7 or 8 gets released later this year. Screenshots of new Mozilla Firefox UI proposal after the jump.

Mozilla the team behind popular web-browser project Firefox is all set to dive into mobile niche, the non-profit organization Mozilla Foundation has taken a step forward to develop an all new Boot 2 Gecko(B2G) mobile-OS project to empower mobile computing platforms.

To make things easier and more compatible with hardware stacks, Mozilla will be taking some of Android's code and will add a new UI and application stack pulled from Firefox's cross-platform layout engine Gecko. Mozilla has also said this would not be just another custom-ui over android and they won't be adopting the Java language used in Android and will also not support native code programming.

A video demonstration of Mozilla Seabird the first concept phone is out now and available after the jump. With some very impressive hardware specs like an 8MP camera, two pico-projectors, inductive wireless charging, IR+haptic feedback based bluetooth headset, mini-usb and an innovative and powerful software back-end this concept is something to definitely look out for.

While the official announcement of Mozilla Firefox 5 Final release is still not made, as happened in the past the Firefox 5 Final release build is already available on official Mozilla FTP servers, open to public access. The official scheduled date for Firefox 5 launch is after two days on 21st June, but the download is now online so nobody is stopping us to enjoy it before release date.

Direct download links for Firefox 5 Windows, Linux and Mac versions, change-log and a memory usage comparison to Firefox 4 posted after the jump.

Mozilla Firefox has never been good with system memory consumption, the free open-source web-browser is a very well-known memory guzzler thanks to various memory leaks in it's codebase. There have been various un-official solutions to the problem and addons like RamBack do help make things in-control a bit, but nothing works as a concrete solution to the problem which is needed to face-off today's tough competition.

Mozilla developers have now decided to finally address the issue seriously and a dedicated team called MemShrink is now in-operation to tackle the issue.
